Bid a deck to strip & seal with 3 coats of CWF-UV prior to my services(and my knowledge). Decks are new business to me, and I didn't realize she'd put that many layers on over the years. This was a mother's day gift from her children, and they contracted me out!! Well, after I get the deck striped (took forever to strip that stuff) and dry, find out it needed to be sanded, and of course that's extra! But then come to find out she wanted it re-sealed with CWF-UV!! This stuff is a pain.
Should I offer anything of a warranty? I was thinking maybe through the end of summer, no more!! I had bid the job using Olympic Maximum, so of course the materials were cheaper, but I still had to go back to sand (3½ hours) and apply this crap by hand (7 additional hours to my estimated 3½ apply time)! As for my estimate, the bill will reflect my additional time.
Don'tcha just love these deals we get ourselves into??
